Neutralizing Saftee Acid

There seems to be some conflict on how much baking soda to use to neutralize saftee acid. Everyone agrees that you use 1 oz per gallon of water for 20 minutes, but some say 1 oz. is 3 tablespoons, others say 2 tablespoons, others say 1 tablespoons. Which is it?

Didn't know you could put too much in

Well I had know idea you could put too much in I usually just pour some in till I think it's good, never had a problem.If anyone knows if too much is a bad thing let me know.too much baking soda to neutralize that is.

"Not enough" is a problem!

The standard recipe is 1 Ounce (by weight) to each 1 gallon of Water. You want enough in there to neutralize the Acid in the skins - too little, and you only get a partial neutralization. Too much is wasteful. Checking the PH is good but too much or even a little bit will read at or around a 7.9 PH. Weigh out 1 oz. of Baking Soda and then scoop it away using a measured tablespoon. In the future then you can use this tablespoon measurement to treat your pickled skins. In liquids - 2 Tablespoons equals 1 Oz. - but when dealing with powders, some are very dense and heavy and that rule does not apply.
